Wireless key generation system for internet of vehicles based on deep learning by Han WANG, Liquan CHEN, Zhongmin WANG, Tianyu LU

“…In recent years, the widespread application of internet of vehicles technology has garnered attention due to its complex nature and point-to-point communication characteristics.Critical and sensitive vehicle information is transmitted between different devices in internet of vehicles, necessitating the establishment of secure and reliable lightweight keys for encryption and decryption purposes in order to ensure communication security.Traditional key generation schemes have limitations in terms of flexibility and expandability within the vehicle network.A popular alternative is the physical layer key generation technology based on wireless channels, which offers lightweight characteristics and a theoretical basis of security in information theory.However, in the context of internet of vehicles, the movement speed of devices impacts the autocorrelation of generated keys, requiring improvements to traditional channel modeling methods.Additionally, the randomness and consistency of generated wireless keys are of higher importance in applications in internet of vehicles.This research focused on a key generation system based on the wireless physical layer, conducting channel modeling based on line-of-sight and multipath fading effects to reflect the impact of vehicle speed on autocorrelation.To enhance the randomness of key generation, a differential quantization method based on cumulative distribution function was proposed.Furthermore, an information reconciliation scheme based on neural network auto-encoder was introduced to achieve a dynamic balance between reliability and confidentiality.Compared to the implementation of Slepian-Wolf low-density parity-check codes, the proposed method reduces the bit disagreement rate by approximately 30%.…”
